| . . . a Caltech grad student has built an intriguing Wikipedia tool that allows users to search for article edits made by users from known IP addresses. I poked around for about 10 minutes and found the following: . . . On George W. Bush, 199.181.174.146 (The New York Times) added: jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk (I assume that's a clever ploy to boost the President's ranking in the results for search keyword "jerk".) . . . On George W. Bush, 156.33.43.214 (U.S. Senate) added: GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT TO SLEEP IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Five minutes earlier (this was about 2 years ago), a user from the same Senate IP edited Senator Robert Byrd's page, replacing the section on Byrd's KKK membership with: ROBER (sic) LIVES! LONG LIVE DA BIG BYRD! . . . Much more at the link. Classy people, these Timesmen; not at all like those unbwashed, uncouth louts in the blogosphere. |

| #3 I wonder if Vegas takes bets on whether an organization, like the NYT, which decries government surveillance of communications will start to surreptitiously monitor internet traffic within their own ranks. Of course, being 'liberal' the standard is 'one set of rules for me and another set of rules for thee'. |

| #1 Over the past few years I've come to the firm conclusion that liberalism is a form of mental illness. |
